    by Cyril of Alexandria
    Translated by David R. Maxwell
    Edited by Joel C. Elowsky

    Cyril of Alexandria (ca. 378-444), one of the most brilliant representatives of the Alexandrian theological tradition, is best known for championing the term Theotokos (God-bearer) in opposition to Nestorius of Constantinople.

  • Greek Commentaries on Revelation, By Oecumenius and Andrew of Caesarea

    Greek Commentaries on Revelation

    Ancient Christian Texts

    by Oecumenius and Andrew of Caesarea
    Translated by William C. Weinrich
    Edited by Thomas C. Oden

    The Eastern church gives little evidence of particular interest in the book of Revelation. Oecumenius of Isauria's commentary on the book is the earliest full treatment in Greek and dates only from the early sixth century. Along with Oecumenius's commentary, only that of Andrew of Caesarea (dating from the same era and often summarizing Oecumenius before offering a contrary opinion) and that of ...

    Latin Commentaries on Revelation

    Ancient Christian Texts

    by Victorinus of Petovium, Apringius of Beja, Caesarius of Arles, and Bede the Venerable
    Edited and Translated by William C. Weinrich
    Series edited by Thomas C. Oden and Gerald L. Bray

    Interest in the book of Revelation in the Western tradition is stronger and earlier than that in the East. The earliest full commentary on the Apocalypse is that of Victorinus of Petovium written in the mid to late third century by the earliest exegete to write in Latin. Victorinus interpreted Revelation in millennialist terms, a mode of interpretation already evident in works by Irenaeus, as well ...

    Finding Stillness with God in a Restless World

    by John Starke

    The world clamors for efficiency and productivity.

    But the life of prayer is neither efficient nor productive. Instead, as we learn in the psalms, prayer calls us to wait, to watch, to listen, to taste, and to see. These things are not productive by any modern measure—but they are transformative.

    As a pastor in Manhattan, John Starke knows the bustle and busyness of ...
